I never thought I would apply this to developing '51 projects, but it just struck me that what I say about learning foreign languages apply here as well.

1) you know you are not good, but try
2) you "know" you are good, but realize more and more you make bad mistakes.
3) you pull back and think hard to be right.
4) you are fluent.

The process of learning a language, just as becoming fluent in '51 development is subject to the T.T.T. principle, which many refuse to accept.

There ain't no way you will be able to create state of the art designs just months after you started - it takes years to get there.

Oh, the T.T.T. principle was developed by the danish Nobel Laureate in mathematics Piet Hein. In one of his poems he say:
Remember T.T.T. Things Take Time.
